Hey guys i need some feedback, I currently have a non turbo 231 v6 in my limited ed. regal. I want to go turbo now and was wondering if i could just convert my current engine or should i just go and buy a used turbo engine(I have already found a seller)? I also have questions rgarding what else I may have to change on the car if i decide to swap out the stock engine. I read somewhere online that the suspension is different so I would have to upgrade mine.
Oh, and for additional information, I rebuilt my current engine about a year and a half ago because my rocker arm was already worn and it got punched through and well long story short i damaged a piston head and the cylinder head. The engine is fixed and now runs decently but I now have power issues because it seems that the engine is already worn. I would probably have to over bore the cylinders and put in oversized pistons to fix this problem, so should i just go for the used turbo engine or should I rebuild the current engine and convert it to a turbo? Oh and my car is an 87 Limited edition Regal if that helps any.
The easiest swap is a BUICK 350. To swap to a turbo out of a GN or T-Type. Will include all of the electronics as well as the cooling and turbo piping. Sense you have a seller does that include a parts car? The block you have know is the same as the turbo block, it has to be drilled for the oil drain back. the crank is different.
the seller for the engine says its everything i need including the electronics and piping. so what do u guys think?
